Trump Would Renegotiate Accord

US Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he would renegotiate President Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear deal if he makes his way into the White House.

“If we have to wait until the next president is sworn in to revisit this nuclear… agreement, then the next president better be someone who knows how to negotiate and who will do what is best for the United States,” Trump wrote in a Tuesday evening op-ed in USA Today.

“When I am elected president, I will renegotiate with Iran.”

Trump was to take part in a rally at the Capitol on Wednesday in opposition to the international accord over Iran’s nuclear program, which the Obama administration spent two years negotiating, along with Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China.
